[open] darling i'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Who| Porrim and anyone in D5 or who happens to be around D5.
What| mingling in the D5 suites; addressing tribute concerns and getting to know her charges over tea.
Where| D5 suites
When| anytime between October 5th and now!
Warnings/Notes| probably none, aside from language! will update.
Soon after her initial introduction over the Network, and for the weeks following, Porrim finds herself situated at regular intervals in the District 5 lounge, a fresh tray of tea, pastries, sandwiches and assorted other delicacies spread across the table in front of her, and a handsome leather notebook poised in front of her, ready to take notes if necessary. She finds that these regular sessions--like open office hours in a university--are helpful to her Tributes. It's important for her to be accessible, especially when her district has the reputation that it does.
And, well, if she keeps a tiny silver flask nearby and occasionally slips a little something stronger into her tea, who can really blame her? The job of an Escort is a neverending headache, and the indomitable Miss Maryam is more than well-equipped to deal with the consequences. And true to her word, she's happy to socialize with anyone from another District who happens by; she'll never say no to new friends, to making new contacts and meeting new faces. After all, people are interesting. Especially when they come from such varied walks of life.

She decides instead of going directly to the Initiate to stop at the Kitchenette and let the attending Avox pour her a drink. Sipping her juice and liquor laced beverage she sighs happily. In reality District Five's reputation is almost overblown these days. Most of the tributes have learned to either co-exist or completely ignore one another.
It's just the rest of the world they can't seem to get along with.
But trouble makers aside Azula is pleased with the independence her tributes have. What had once been a thorn in her side had become one of her greatest benefits in the sense that she could count on them to act in their best interests...most of the time.
"Well while you're here I'd love to hear some of your thoughts about the tributes. Surely you've observed them enough to have some opinions or ideas of what we can do for their public image?"
no subject
Azula brings up the whole public image issue, however, and Porrim perks up, because it just so happens she's been pondering that very issue. "I do have some ideas, actually," she says matter-of-factly. Flipping a few pages in her notebook, she goes on. "I was thinking we could gently nudge our lovely tributes toward a redemption arc of sorts. You know, they're not bad, they're just drawn that way, that sort of thing."
no subject
"That has potential. Especially with the addition of Sam to our team. He has a charm about him." She reasoned. "The hard part would be getting them to play along to an extent. We'll never get them to fanatically extol the virtues of the capitol...But at the very least we could get them to play along with the idea that the games ultimately are a good thing and they're grateful to be involved."
It would take alot of effort though, they had stubborn tributes.

"But the good news is, I have Venus on board with the whole thing already. She even provided me with a more detailed angle to work in her case. Starlet led astray, off her meds, coming off a bad breakup. It's actually quite clever.
no subject
"Venus has experience in spinning her image it seems. And she's become more active in the process as of late. I just wish I could have spared her that mess with Enjolras." But she smiled that cunning smile all the same because it had proven she had been right about him all along.
"Still lemonade out of lemons or what have you. Of course she's always been more willing to work on the social aspect of things. Shepard will be the hardest to sell. The easiest way would be if we could somehow convince her it's her own idea. The slightly harder way would be to be up front with her and try to convince her that you know what you're doing."
